Tribute to Jerry Kaufman

Today I learned Jerry Kaufman (Stemcell Man) passed away last night. I grew to know him in the ALS chatroom and met him personally in Belize where both of us had stemcell transplants. He was up walking with his walker and always looked at me laughing. He sent me emails about being a warrior to fight this disease. He truly inspired me with his spirit and enthusiasm. He will be sorely missed in our chatroom and by all that knew him. There is a link to his site on here and a picture of us in Belize. Please remember his family in prayers to comfort them at this time. As things go for me I try to stay upbeat and thank GOD for what I have, not what I have lost. Take care and be safe, Lee
